DennisLinkletter Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Here is something Very New.. Dark Bronze Metallic (This Gen 2.2 will ship Friday and is available) This is the replacement for the now unavailable Autumn Nebula tile. Harvest Gold
Conodo12 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 First Heart Pang... All, I just had my first experience where I said to myself, "Man that would be nice to have on my KK!!" I suppose some of you KK vets have experienced this feeling more than once?!? OK, I know I just have to tell myself, I ordered gloss black on black and it's gonna be awesome!!! Nice new tile Dennis - very rich looking!!

Nice new tile Dennis - very rich looking!! I know exactly how you feel. I have the Glass Black Gen II. And although it looks Awesome, that new Bronze tile looks Awesome too !!!
scouterpf Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Great color / shine/ awshucks. I still like the beaten copper KK; but this tile should not turn green and the air crews flying over head will wonder what it is.
DachsieSlave Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 I may have just found my color, was planning on Cobalt Blue to replace my blue GD. But WOW that Bronze Metallic is gorgeous! Would like to see a picture of it out in the sun.
Firemonkey Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 I must be odd man out on this one...The bronze reminds me of a cylon from Battlestar Gallactica - only darker, like a tarnished cylon. ....but what do i know, i have a POSK of questionable color, too.
jdbower Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Too much bling for someone with a monkey pimp as an avatar? That's hard to believe! To be honest I'm not one for metallic objects either (I've pried a lot of chrome off my car), but the dark bronze isn't bad compared to, say, metallic gold tiles with rhinestone highlights I would also be curious to see how it looks in the sun, and how it looks a few years from now. I'm not sure if having the metal protected to hold the luster would be better or if it would be more interesting to have it fade to a nice patina.
DennisLinkletter Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Posted October 22, 2008 Autumn Harvest and Bling roots.. I did not set out to produce a bling KOmodo.. I found this mixed tile with a gold simular to Autumn Nebula and the metalic looking tile. At first they only found one box so we built the tweed striped looking 19.5" OTB When they found more we cut them up and made two cookers.
Firemonkey Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 I take that cylon comment back...the shot with the light reflecting off the top reminds me of the MGM in Vegas I think it has reflective bronze windows. Dennis - any more shots of the brown one? That almost has the look of fine leather, like a monkey pimp can appreciate
trish Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Is it actually a metallic tile or a simulated metallic finish? If it is a simulated finish it should not change with sun exposure right?
DennisLinkletter Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Posted October 22, 2008 Bling Bling It is a ceramic tile with metallic glaze. Is it actually a metallic tile or a simulated metallic finish? If it is a simulated finish it should not change with sun exposure right? It is a ceramic tile with metallic glaze. I would not recommend it not being covered when being stored. UV fades everything eventually and I would not want to take a chance with it. It is not porous.
jdbower Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Worst case I'm sure there's some level of cleaning and protection you and use to keep it shiny. When I first saw you had been waxing some tiles it had me thinking, my black car gets too hot in the sun for me to put my hand on it, I don't think the outside of a KK would get much hotter. Perhaps some of the same stuff they use to clean and protect chrome on a car would help keep the luster.
Majestik Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Dennis... Can you get us a pic of the Bronze in full sunlight? It's looking mostly black to me....? Thx.
sumrtym Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Re: Dennis... Can you get us a pic of the Bronze in full sunlight? It's looking mostly black to me....? Thx. I'd second that for both of them actually.
mguerra Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Here's your sunlight photos. http://gallery.me.com/mpguerra#100055
Conodo12 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 Great shots! The table on the Bronze is very complimentary. It doesn't look like wings but rather like it belongs. Just one table doc?
mguerra Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 tables I need some special nuts to mount the side tables properly, Dennis says they are enroute.
DachsieSlave Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 Re: Here's your sunlight photos. Here's your sunlight photos Thanks, that looks really nice. Can't wait to order mine.
